We’re gonna have a blast.”   First time headliner Jelly Roll also said, “Last year I got to play Stagecoach for the first time and it was incredible. And I didn’t just get to play. I got to hang out as a fan of artists I love and take my daughter to see some of the best entertainers in our format.

See you in April.”   Fan-favorite Guy Fieri’s Stagecoach Smokehouse is back again for its sixth year to reveal new chefs, pit bosses and BBQ vendors.

Pure Imagination Fest announces 2024 Lineup feat. Flaming Lips, The Pharcyde, Sylvan Esso, Tanya Tucker and more

The stellar and wide-ranging lineup for the 2024 Pure Imagination Festival coming to beautiful Watson Lake in historic Prescott, AZ on Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18, 2024 has just been announced. Below is the official poster and media release! (read my coverage of last year's great event HERE)...Robert Kinsler

Pure Imagination Festival will be returning to the awe inspiring granite dells of Watson Lake in historic Prescott, AZ this year. The female-led and curated, all-ages destination festival will return to the site for its third edition, set to take place May 17 & 18, 2024.

This year's festival boasts an impressive bill, headlined by pre-eminent psychonauts The Flaming Lips, who are celebrating the 20th Anniversary of their tour for Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, as well as critically acclaimed indie dance-pop duo Sylvan Esso, revered country artist Tanya Tucker, two-time Grammy Award winner, and hip-hop legends, The Pharcyde. Additionally, the lineup includes Danielle Ponder, The National Parks, Sarah Shook & The Disarmers, The Irie and more. Friday’s kickoff concert lineup will feature singer-songwriter, musician, poet and outspoken activist Michael Franti & Spearhead, as well as Ponderosa Grove.

The festival has been the work of Candace Devine, frontwoman of Ponderosa Grove and CEO of Further West, the company that produces Pure Imagination Festival. Devine started the festival out as part of a desire to see Prescott rise as an epicenter for arts, culture and music in the Southwest. The town itself is surrounded by the Prescott National Forest which offers 1.25 million acres of natural, rugged beauty and is a top destination for mountain biking, hiking and bouldering. 

“I am so excited for this year's festival! Pure Imagination has truly become a movement of wonder and joy in our community and it feels more important than ever. In this time when the world feels a little off course, nothing brings a warmer feeling to my heart than knowing we are just a few months away from experiencing true human connection to each other, our beautiful landscape, and a greater communal kindness that comes through all of us from live music,” said Devine.

She continues, “I can't wait to see this year's lineup on our stages along with the addition of the Friday night kick-off concert. What's better than the most magical festival experience? More of it! I am so looking forward to seeing faces that I have seen the last couple years return, and seeing the many new faces that have heard about us and are joining in to add to the magic. It's our festival family that really makes Pure Imagination as special as it is.”

ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH KEEP NATURE WILD Los Angeles, CA (March 29, 2023) – The organizers of Pure Imagination – the female led and curated, environmentally forward, all-ages destination festival taking place on May 20th in Prescott, AZ – are thrilled to announce the addition of two acts to the already fantastic line-up for its sophomore edition: Los Lobos and Dirtwire.   Los Lobos: For all the trailblazing musical acts who've emerged from Los Angeles, very few embody the city's wildly eclectic spirit more wholeheartedly than Los Lobos. Over the last five decades, the East L.A.-bred band has made an indelible mark on music history by exploring an enormous diversity of genres -- rock-and-roll and R&B, surf music and soul, mariachi and música norteña, punk rock and country -- and building a boldly unpredictable sound all their own.   Dirtwire: Hailing from the underground, west coast, electronic, bass music scene, Dirtwire finds itself at the forefront of experimental electronic music production mixing in their wide array of world instruments with sampled beats and 808’s. Dirtwire’s live shows are a communal psychedelic journey, ranging from down home boot stomping get downs, to bass and blues electronic mashups, to ethereal cinematic beat driven soundscapes. Woven into each is the exploration of where live instruments meet computer production, and where tradition meets experimentation. Los Lobos Dirtwire Additionally, the festival has announced a partnership with the Arizona-based, eco-conscious apparel company Keep Nature Wild, which also hosts nationwide community cleanups. The company will be doing the site clean-up on the day after the festival. Their dedicated “Wild Keeper Ambassadors” spend time every month tidying up their communities. Together, they pick up one pound of trash for every product sold.   This month, in anticipation of the company achieving their goal of picking up 1,000,000 pounds of trash and in celebration of Earth Day, Pure Imagination will be participating in a community trash pick-up campaign to help Keep Nature Wild with their initiative.   Jared James Nichols will perform at Pure Imagination.

Located on Watson Lake Park, featuring the breathtaking setting and granite dells of Prescott National Forest – the traditional Yavapai land belonging to The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, The Yavapai-Apache Nation and The Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe – the festival is just minutes away from historic Prescott, Arizona. The grounds offer festival-goers miles of hiking trails, on-site lawn games and frisbee golf, twenty food trucks, as well as kayaking. Prescott's picturesque downtown is replete with serious old west vibes — in fact, The Palace, where the Earp Brothers and Doc Holliday used to get a drink, is still a favorite spot for tourists and locals alike.   Pure Imagination saw its inaugural festival in 2022, where the stage was graced by folk rock band Dawes, hip hop icon, Talib Kweli, three time Grammy winner Fantastic Negrito, Nikki Lane, Rising Appalachia, Phantom Planet, Katie Pruitt and more. This eclectic line-up brought over 5,000 music fans to the field to enjoy Prescott's always perfect weather with a day packed with performances by aerial artists, performance groups, jugglers, art cars and plenty of revelry for everyone. Many of the same experiences are returning to the festival grounds this year. Details below. “Art Ally” featuring live painters and projection art, art cars, interactive exhibits and installations The Hopi Water Clan Dance Troupe Play area, bubble joy, face painting, kids talent show, kiddie jam zone, compost trash lessons and more.

We have a spectacular line-up this year and we can't wait to astonish everyone with a day of magic and music that holds a vibrant loving community of people at the center of all of it," said Devine.   The festival will donate a portion of its proceeds to: Flying Horse Foundation, an organization that is dedicated to supporting arts and music in multicultural spaces.
